Same function for all mc buttons?

Question

I am putting together a simple flash anim – and pretty much have about 25 buttons that I need to fade in and out on rollover. I seem to remember there is a way to apply the same function to all buttons – as long as the over and out state labels within the mc are the same. Could someone let me know what i should look into in order to accomplish this? Thank you.

dhem – i am getting a
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
    at tw_flash_jh_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
when trying to implement that loop code – am i missing something?
That is with the attached code – assumably the error is mine:
stop();
for (var i:int = 1; i < 66; i++){
    this["mc" + i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, showHighlight, false, 0, true);
    this["mc" + i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, removeHighlight, false, 0, true);
function showHighlight(e:MouseEvent){
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("over");
function removeHighlight(e:MouseEvent){
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("out");
